UGLY DUCKLING

I Want To Believe Lyrics

Yeah yeah, I've heard it beforeIt's just a bunch more words that I'm sure to ignoreThis time I'll need evidence, you know exhibit AAnd if it's secret, leak it, give it awayYou'll drop hints, but never a factAnd it's a trap, gonna have to do better than thatI don't wanna be a fool, I'm feeling naiveSo please write it all down, leave it easy to readIn clear, concise, nice plain EnglishI get tripped up trying to distinguishThe pimp from the pastor, meek from the moocherSo tell me then, are you a friend or a userWho sets a trap like a web to a flySo come right and exact, look me dead in the eyeAnd don't sell me, promise me, tell meHonestly, why

[Chorus:]Can you give me some kind of signA meaning defined so I can believeCan you give me a way to be sureI can trust in your wordCause that's what I needCan you give me a reason for changeYou'll need to explain so I can believeCan you give me a moment of truthAnd indisputable proof cause that's what I need

Because I wanna believe, I wanna believeBecause I wanna believe, I wanna believe

Ok I made my point, I'll need to see it to believe itAnd anyway, faith is so inconvenientDealing with the guilt, feeling hypocriticalI just end up being sick and miserableLife's fast, I need to try to maximizeSelf gratify, till I collapse and dieWhat then, I don't wanna think about itIt's too deep, I gotta keep my head cloudedSo give me entertainment and happy pillsAnd we'll pretend it's all sunshine and daffodilsIt's what I've done since I was two years oldAnd if it's true you can lose your soulWell I just laugh at your statement of factsDon't say absolute, you'll get taken to taskI don't really wanna change and my life is in vainThen I ask

[Chorus]

Because I wanna believe, but I don't wanna believeBecause I wanna believe, but I don't wanna believeI wanna believe, but I don't wanna believe
